Shirley Ester Ivey, age 81, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, August 24, 2022 at the Bridges of Hendricks Creek.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William Schaeffer and Lillian Matthews; her son Gary Segars and grandson Anthony Brunett.

Shirley is survived by her daughter-in-law, Pamela Brunett Segars; grandchildren, Leigh Mitchell, Jeffrey Brunett and wife Tammy; great-grandchildren, Summer Mitchell, Maddison Brunett and Jackson Brunett; brother, Dennis Schaeffer (Darline); son, Barry Segars and life-long beloved friend, Ann Hatt.

Shirley loved her fur-babies, Polar Bear, Puppy, Batman, Oreo and Lilly. She also loved spending time with her family and friends. She worked for L&N Store as a store clerk after moving to North Carolina from Newmanstown, PA where she was a cook and seamstress.

Shirley was also a member of the ladies Auxiliary of Heartsease Volunteer Fire Department for many years. She loved to talk to everyone and would always try to help anyone in need when she could.

We would like to thank the staff of Bridges of Hendricks and 3HC where she was well taken care of and Shirley loved them all. She enjoyed her visits with the 3HC Pastor when he would come to visit they would sing together. A special thank you to Tiffany Casper and the Pastor of the 3HC team for taking such great care of Shirley.

There will be a visitation at Heartsease Volunteer Fire Department to celebrate the life of Shirley on September 3, 2022 from 5:30-7:00 PM along with her family.
